Show HE IS STILL ALIVE. Archduke John of Austria, who has just been reported alive in Argentine, was long supposed to have been dead. In 1S89 he voluntarily renounced his claims to the crown of Austria and married one of the popular European ARCHDUKE JOHN OF AUSTRIA, opera singers. Taking his wife with him on board one of the steamers bound for South America, he started toward the west, but nothing was subsequently sub-sequently heard from him until several sev-eral days ago. Archduke John of Austria Aus-tria was always eccentric, like most of the Hapsburgs, and no amount of parental advice could induce him to part with his notions. On frequent occasions oc-casions he expressed his contempt for royalty, and declared that the atmosphere atmos-phere of courts was offensive to him. In spite of the fact that he is in direct line of descent from the present emperor, empe-ror, Francis Joseph, he will never wear the crown of Austria. He says that he expects to remain in Argentine. |
